# '# XXX hack for dependency # ordering'
# below.
#
+# The basic logic is:
+# 1) if there's a Makefile.PL in git for the module, use it. and call make
+# 2) If not, auto-generate one (normally)
+# 3) unless the auto-generation code figures out that the extension is
+# *really* simple, in which case don't. This will be for pure perl
+# modules, and all that is needed to be done is to copy from the source
+# to the dest directories.

# It may be deleted in a later release of perl so try to
# avoid using it for other purposes.
